Before you leave, mow your lawns. If you are way for an extended period, arrange for someone to do this for you.

Advise a trustworthy neighbour of your travel plans and ask them to contact us immediately if they note anything unusual.

Install sensor-controlled automatic security lights and check they are operational.

Don’t close your curtains – make the house look lived in. As a service to current monitoring clients we offer this service at a minimal fee. We can pull your curtains, day and night, and feed pets if need be.

Consider using a timer for lights or set a radio to come on at certain times of night.

Have a neighbour park their car up your driveway or hang washing on your line.

If you have an alarm – advertise it with stickers on your letterbox and windows.

Alison McKimm – Big Save

Since 2007, Big Save Limited has been using the services of HSM Security Group on our Hastings and Napier sites. We have also used HSM Security to supply electronic doors and gates and to install fire compliance systems. At all times we have found Matt Stevenson and the HSM team to be professional and helpful. They carry out the security function in a business like a manner and respond promptly to our changing needs.I would highly recommend the HSM Security Group.

Stephen Ricketts – Mitre 10 Mega

I wish to acknowledge my thanks for a job well done on the recent build of our new Mitre 10 Mega store in Hastings. Your pricing was competitive and the quality of the equipment and workmanship was excellent. The size of the store at about 11,500 m2 is large, and the timeframe we allowed for its completion was relatively short, but your firm managed the project efficiently and in a timely manner, enabling us to open at our predetermined time.

At all times the cooperation between yourselves, the other contractors on site and with us was exemplary. This was a major project for us, but it was made easy because of the approach you and your team took. We have now moved all of our work at our other local sites into your care, because of your clear expertise and ability in this area. Many thanks.
